: I'd suggest copying the existing examples from Collatz to Hailstone, with the Collatz examples marked with [[Template:Needs-review]], then change Collatz to a redirect. Probably only take a few minutes.
: The WP page could be edited to reflect the change, so that WP users aren't bounced around needlessly. -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 08:18, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
: We have a [[Template:DeprecatedTask|template for marking deprecated tasks]], but this page, curiously enough, never left draft stage. I'm very averse to applying protection to pages, because of the implications that brings in differing privilege levels, requiring a designee or three for handling such requests, and rules for fair arbitration of disputes. So I'd say leave it unprotected; as a draft or deprecated, it doesn't get attention drawn to it, and if people want to spend time adding to it, that's their choice. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 16:30, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
